Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (CSAIL) Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have developed a new type of multifunctional robotic machine. They say this machine can learn to pick up and drop off all kinds of things. Keypoint Affordance Manipulation (KPAM) is control software, designed to offer robots much greater flexibility. This project
Today, order picking is taking on great importance for manufacturers and the integration of robotic automation has helped overcome challenges for this type of application. This type of process requires more manpower and they are subject to making errors during the processes making distribution less efficient and precise. That’s why warehousing and distribution automation experts
